What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Old Rothbury multivallate hillfort and cairnfield as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Old Rothbury multivallate hillfort and cairnfield is a complex of multiple earthworks and stone cairns, likely dating to the early medieval period, associated with both defensive and ritual functions. Local tradition and folklore sometimes link such sites to fairy realms or ancient supernatural activity, though specific stories about this site are not widely recorded.
